My company has switched over to Autocad and the previous employee was using PowerCADD 9. Does anyone know of a file converter to transfer files from .PC9 to .DWG? I have 10,000+ files so manual is really out of the question.

A quick google search learns that it apparently is a common question among PowerCADD users. There should be a plugin in PowerCADD that allows you to export to .dwg, so if you still have an active licence you could try to adress that a batch file.
There seems to have been an answer to a similar question on this website, but it seems to be locked behind a paywall.

The license is expired. I have been searching all around and most of the answers are converting to files FOR powercadd. Essentially going the opposite way of .dwg to .pc9. Otherwise it is for exporting from powercadd as a single .dwg but I am hoping to find some method of converting them outside of powercadd.
Funny that you mention the paywall option because I found that and signed up for it hoping for a resolution. The answer you have to pay for: "Not that I know of." Not exaggerating that was the actual answer.

Already posted there. Been at this for a couple days and I'm at the point of just casting a wide net hoping somebody had the same problem with a solution that I just can't dredge up.

we can't solve your boss' inability to preplan, the solutions are up for you folks to purchase or implement if it takes a day, week, month or year. Good luck with it all.

I really hope you didn't have to shell out any money for that...
As Pendean said, your best bet is to get to the PowerCADD forums and ask those users. If they have a solution (even a paying one) you're more likely to learn about it there. Otherwise there might also be people that are able to write you converters. It is more costly but that might be a cost-benefit analysis worth making for your boss if the only alternative you have right now is re-buying powercadd licences so you can do manual conversions. (especially hammer down on the lost/gained man-hours of manual conversion)
